Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Interserve, on behalf of Southampton Solent University, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the initial groundworks associated with the redevelopment of land adjacent to Southampton Solent University. A watching brief was required as a planning permission condition prior to the construction of a new five-seven story teaching building on the north side of the existing campus building.The watching brief recorded no evidence of any significant archaeological features, deposits or finds beyond the survival of a shallow brick wall foundation and a shallow north/south orientated ditch which was located at the north-western edge of trench 9. The ditch was cut into the top of the brickearth natural and filled with abundant late 19th century china, pottery, bottle glass and slate fragments. The results have largely confirmed earlier test-pit observations made in 2012, which found a small number of ditches and boundary features and suggested that the former substantial town-house properties, which fronted on to East Park Terrace would have had a substantial impact to deposits of archaeological potential in this zone. |
